Yanagiba knife, blade length 19.5cm, 114g. The spine is about 4.1mm thick near the top of the heel. Unfortunately, the signature has disappeared, but it is a genuine kasumi (layered steel) knife made by forging soft iron and steel together. Although slightly shorter, it has a decent heft. While most of the rust marks have been removed, faint marks and small scratches remain, so please check the photos carefully. The handle has been replaced with a new one and should last for a while. It has been thoroughly sharpened, the blade has been honed, and it has been polished. Please see the profile for detailed restoration processes.
